Shopper overcharged for veggies after cashier’s breasts tip the scale

An investigation has been launched by a British supermarket into the sales of its fruit and vegetables after a shopper was overcharged by cashier whose breasts tipped the scales.

Yes, we have no bananas

The shopper raised the alarm at the Channel Islands Co-operative store in Bailiwick of Jersey after she noticed the employee’s breasts were resting on the scales while she was weighing her vegetables, the BBC reports.

The woman was accidentally charged an extra $8, which has been refunded, according to Jim Hopley, the chief executive of the company

Hopley said the cashier’s chair had been set too low which caused her breasts to rest on the scales. Her chair has since been adjusted and the till receipts checked to see if anyone else had been overcharged.

Hopley called the incident “unfortunate” and said he felt bad for the cashier who “was totally mortified.”

He added that the customer was right to be concerned about the incident. “We are obliged under weights and measures law to ensure that things are appropriately weighed when they pass across these scales,” he said.
